Volunteers wanted for Big Bike Fixing Weekend

Independent Free Press

Hayden's Re-Bicycling is looking for volunteers for its Big Bike Fixing Weekend — Saturday, Aug. 23 and Sunday, August 24.

The event will be held between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 2 Cleaveholm Dr. in Georgetown. Volunteers will be helping to fix and dismantle bikes— no experience needed. Bring tools if you have them. This would be an ideal opportunity for high school students to get a headstart of their community hours.

Hayden’s Re-Bicycling has groups of volunteers come out on work days to repair bikes and they have given away 594 bikes and processed over 700 bikes. This project has been running for four years. In recycling these old bikes and giving them new owners Hayden’s Re-Bicycling have stopped roughly 17,220 pounds of metal from going to the landfill.
